<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Food and Clothing
When you move to Australia, you will have to factor in the cost of food and drink there. The average family of four would spend $717 a month for food and drink in Australia, according to Expatforum.com. Another factor to consider is the cost of clothing in Australia, should you need new clothes. Local clothes tend to be cheaper than imported clothes. Even if you buy fashionable brands, clothing costs will be similar, if not a bit lower, than in the United States.
On the Other: Housing Costs
The most important factor to consider will be your housing needs. If you buy a house, the expense will depend on the city you move to in Australia. For example, a house in Sydney costs approximately $474,000, while a house in Hobart is only $231,500.
Bottom Line
Travel expenses aside, if you are able to keep an income while living in Australia, you expenses should be similar, if not less, than those in the United States. Consider food, clothing and housing costs to determine whether a move to Australia is financially viable.
